I'm curious--of the episodes aired to date, which is your favourite? Or least-hated, if you're still watching for testing purposes only?

It has been interesting seeing differing perspectives on Dollhouse from people. I follow Twitter a lot, and the general feedback is people love Topher, but opinions are completely mixed about the show. A lot of people hate it. Many love it. The rest seem to like it. This is a good link to keep track: [link]

ita, I like The Target.

I like "The Target" and "Gray Hour" best.

I like Gray Hour best. That one didn't feel like due diligence, like the first and kind of the second.

I really disliked "Stage Fright". It just felt like an extended Eliza showreel.

The bits that work for me in Dollhouse are the mythology, inside the Dollhouse stuff and dealing with identity rather than objectification. Also, more Boyd please. And give Paul something to do other than running around shouting at people.

Yeah, I get kind of uncomfortable and annoyed every time they have Eliza being all sexy. I get it, she's hot, tell me a different story. It's just the nature of this beast, though; I'm still amused every time they call attention to how hot Sarah is on Chuck. But that's a comedy, and there's a touch of knowing winkiness that's not present on this show (although this episode did have a bit of it with the fakeouts).

I don't want to be Eliza(Although I think she's cool, and one of my first fantasy gfs) but if I could be Taffy for one day, it would be my childhood dream. Huh...interesting "Make-A-Wish" plot bunny...would anyone read that fanfic?

Yeah, Sunil. I mean, I love Big Bang, and that show occasionally plays on the fact Penny Is Hot. But, occasionally. Plus, flat out comedy. Plus, she keeps her clothes on. I still can't come up with a single reason why we had braless Eliza in episode 3. It also doesn't help it's parallel to Eliza as a child inside the 'house. I know the show is pushing buttons deliberately, though, but still - I'm a man and it's putting me off the show.

Also, well done to somebody on Twitter who just noticed Adelle has a shortcut to Quake 2 on her desktop.

Alias was predicated on Jennifer Garner being hot just about every week. Leverage usually needs Gina Bellman to turn on the sexy charm every week. But somehow those were about characters, whereas too much on Dollhouse is about Eliza being sexy--in Gray Hour it seemed more about Taffy being sexy, if that hair splits correctly.

My inferrence from the backup singer one was that she was one person with a subliminal imperative.

But how many backup singers can kick ass? They must combine that personality with the fighting skills, right? (although the "bitch you can fire me, but don't think that you can take me" was pure backup singer :) )
